COMPOSITE GAZETTEER OF ANTARCTICA

extending NW-SE between Eureka Glacier and Riley Glacier, E of Warren Ice Piedmont, George VI Sound, rising to c. 1550 m, and including McHugo Peak, Mount Noel, Mount Allan and Mount Eissinger, were photographed from the air by Ellsworth, 23 November 1935, and roughly mapped from air photographs (Joerg, 1937); further photographed from the air by BGLE, 16 August 1936, and partly surveyed from the ground in Septem- ber-October 1936 (Stephenson, 1940, map facing p.232); partly resurveyed from the E by FIDS from "Stonington Island" in 1948. The name arose because BGLE sledge parties found the mountains a useful landmark on the overland traverse from Wordie Ice Shelf to George VI Sound via Eureka Glacier ([referring to N part of mountains in 69°51'S 68°02'W] APC, 1955, p.21; DCS 601 sheet 69 66, 1955; DOS 610 sheet W 69 68, 1963; [as now defined] BAS 250P sheets SR 19-20/6, 1-DOS 1978 and 19-20/10, 2-DOS 1984; APC, 1986, p.4). Gory Travers (Soviet Union. MMF chart, 1961). The mountains were resurveyed by BAS from "Stonington Island", 1970-73.

Group of almost ice-free mountains, rising to c. 1,550 m, and including McHugo Peak, Mount Noel, Mount Allan and Mount Eissinger, between Eureka Glacier and Riley Glacier, E of Warren Ice Piedmont, in western Palmer Land. These mountains were first photographed from the air on Nov. 23, 1935, by Lincoln Ellsworth and were mapped from these photographs by W.L.G. Joerg. First surveyed in 1936 by the BGLE under Rymill and resurveyed in 1948 by the FIDS. The name was first used by BGLE sledging parties because the mountains are an important landmark in the overland traverse from the Wordie Ice Shelf, down Eureka Glacier, to George VI Sound.
